I believe the answer is: D.It improved the ability of the United States to provide military support to the Allies.

Selective Service Act gave the power for the government to increase the number of soldiers through the process of conscription. In this process, people that fulfil a certain criteria for the army is legally obligated to enter military draft if they did not want to face a criminal punishment.
